15: Chinese Tangram

Today in my honors forum class at the beginning my teacher handed out these Chinese Tangrams/puzzles. You have seven pieces and you have to make a square with them. No gaps and you have to use all the pieces.
I fiddled with mine for a few minutes and then stopped working hard and worked smart. I googled "chinese tangram" and the first picture that came up gave me the solution. :)
Today's lesson: Be resourceful!

Perspective

Today I went back to my high school to see a friend, Sam Lloyd. His birthday is next week and so I told him I would come visit him at school if I could. I got out of class early today so I had enough time to swing by.
It was interesting to be there and see things from a new perspective. To see things the same and the things that were different. It was weird to see the things that were the same and feel differently about them now than I remember. Strange how a few years can change everything.

Like it was yesterday...

Today's picture is of Kayla! Between sessions of General Conference I practiced different hairdos on her for her upcoming Homecoming dance. She is going with Jacob Lythgoe from our stake, I don't know him but he seems like a good kid...we'll see though. :P I tried a few different things but I think this is what we will end up doing, or at least something similar.
I just can't believe she is already old enough for all this! [dating and dances] It seems like I was just doing all that myself a few weeks ago. Crazy how time flies!

Hard work pays off

Well today I didn't have any specific moment that stuck out for me to take a picture of so I tried to think of a theme or something kind of important and came up with this. I had my first test in Psychology today and I was worried about how I would do because there was a lot of information that it covered. But! I studied yesterday and today and when I took my test today I felt confident and I'm pretty sure I got an A. :) so yep- hard work pays off. Not that I didn't already know that, but it still feels good.

also- I had Kayla take this picture for me and while I was fixing my jacket she so kindly snapped the below photo of me. :) it's funny enough I considered putting it up for today's picture instead of the one above.

I got an A on my Psych test! I only missed one question! :D

DON'T WALK

Okay, here is my picture for today. I just snapped it while I was waiting to cross the street to go home from Psychology at PVCC tonight.
